Id jump on Rive if I could. Not really into these, but thats one Id gladly grab. Love that game.
Ooh, Earthlock!
Earthlock for me. Don't know if it's worth it though.
Tempted by Toki Tori, but these are so expensive... eh
Getting ready to buy a house, so priorities and such.
Oh, RIVE is day one for me!
I'm just going to stop buying indie games on the eShop because literally almost every digital game I own seems to be getting a physical release now. (And I always buy physical whenever possible.)
Finally darkside will be mine
Rive is fantastic, but the rest are pretty lame
EARTHLOCK...!!!
Finally in physical after 1 year being digital download only.
Earthlock is going to be mine
I really wish we could get physical releases of Blaster Master Zero 1 & 2...
Wulverblade is great. And filled with so many historical facts. Really cool for people interested in celtic or roman history.
First a little hard in single player, but got an easy mode.
Hm, maybe I will buy it again...
I saw a bit of Rive during AGDQ or some such event, and it looked fantastic. Eager to grab that.
Also interested in Toki Tori 1+2
Will pick up a copy of Wulverblade, really enjoyed it
I have all of these digitally except Darkside Detective. Wulverblade is highly recommended to anyone who enjoys side scroller beat em ups.
I'll be buying Earthlock physical, but that's it.
Love wolverblade but I’m rubbish at it
Toki Tori’s a definite buy. Everything else I need to see some gameplay first, but it sounds like a great lineup of games.
I'm just not willing to pay £30 for a game that costs £12 on the eShop and is often 50% off
@justin233
"...so priorities and such."
You are going to get it, then? 😆
Been waiting for Earthlock physical...and it winds up with Super Rare. Crud.
Yeah well. It's not impossible that a game eventually gets pulled from the eshop. It has happened for plenty of games during the Xbox Live Arcade era. So it's not 100% safe just to keep waiting for a hypothetical physical release.
I hope this comment does not cause panic to those with FOMO. It's a pain buying every game twice, which seems to be the case in this time and era for those of us preferring physical games.
Count me in for most if not all Physical release. You'll never find them once they are gone beyond the eBay Scalpers. Buy now or Pay the price later.
@AcridSkull "I'm just not willing to pay £30 for a game that costs £12 on the eShop and is often 50% off"
Another fallacy thinker.
These are all pretty solid (Toki Tori the least interesting to me) and I may go down the road of double dipping. Wulverblade will be a must as I loved that game even though it kicked my ass. I have Earthlock digitally but haven't played it. Darkside Detective I've had my eye on but have yet to pull the trigger so I may get it here so I don't double dip. Rive I've heard good things about but again don't own it so it is highly interesting.
If these games are 30 dollars, it'll come to my country for 40, maybe 45 bucks, so unfortunately it's a pass for me...
Wanted Rive for a while so I’ll keep an eye on that one
Been meaning to get Wulverblade, so might see if I can get a physical copy then.
Super Rare Games is putting out some great titles
@Hinade there's a demo on the eShop
Good, Earthlock and Lone Wolf are physical. I may hazard The Darkside Detective, but I don't even have time for point-and-clicks much to my dismay.
I won’t pay three times more for a physical copy, plus shipping, plus import tax, for any games, even though I love Two Tribes’ excellent games, especially Toki Tori 2. I just wish they’d put all their games on one cart, then I’d probably buy.
I stopt keeping it complete but wulverblade and earthlock will join my collection.
For me even if mediocre games is better then nothing. As for sale SRG is sold once is gone. There will be no sale this isn't like Amazon or BestBuy once SRG inventory is gone it's gone. And Scalpers would gladly make you buy at their prices.
I love me a good SHUMP.
The Darkside Detective is a really funny game. If you're somewhat into simplified, absurd, supernatural point-and-click adventures, I'd recommend it.
And for those who, like me, live in Europe, there's an extra mistery to solve, an extra point-and-click puzzle to it, even before you get the game: it's disappeared from the eShop for some reason, when last I looked. It's quite the puzzle to get a US account and actual funds on it, through the actual internet. Didn't solve the misterious disappearance myself yet.
@SwitchForce how?
Rive is a overlooked gem game , great graphics, good voice actors, great playability, everything is good about that game.
Meh.
These games don't warrant a physical release imo. Give us more substantial releases like: Okami, Wargroove, Phoenix Wright, etc.
@JJtheTexan Same here, i hope they dont bring FF7.
Little bummed since I bought Earthlock from the eShop back when that first released. But I'm not too bothered about it since securing a copy of these limited physicals is rather difficult.
I played Earthlock on the PS4 It’s a good game until you get the final boss and it is unbeatable. I contacted the company told him how stupid the final boss was they’ve never done anything about it. I will say they did provide some hints but they didn’t help either . It’s fine, good luck beating it!
Going for Earthlock, Rive, Toki Tori 1+2 and Wulverblade.
What one doesn't get is once the Physical is sold out that is it for it. You can get all the eShop release you can get but expect the Physical to go for Scalping prices.
